Another Super Summer Salad: Apple and Carrot Salad

Summertime heat makes me crave cold food all the time. I've been trying not to use that as a reason to eat potato salad 3 meals per day. This refreshing salad is fast and sinple to make, and low in calories, making it a great addition for your lunch bag or a pre-dinner snack.

2 large apples (1 granny smith and 1 fuji or other red apple makes the prettiest salad) cored then cut into matchsticks with your mandolin or grated

Juice of 1 lime

3 cups carrots, grated

1/4 cup(s) chives, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Toss apples with lime juice. Add remaining ingredients. Makes 8 servings. 1 pt each for those of you on WW.
